If there’s one thing makers have, it’s a lot of stuff. Both tools to create things, and created thing themselves! I’m really curious what storage solutions everyone has used. We’re thinking about a furniture/house rearranging and I’m going to need to commit to a system soon.
I’ve looked at #gridfinity (https://gridfinity.xyz/) and it seems ok, but definitely skewed more toward the small parts, electronic components and 3d printing world. I have a lot of woodworking tools, fasteners and hardware and home DIY stuff as well as electronics, so I need a much more holistic solution. Right now I’m leaning towards a French cleat system along a couple walls and just building custom shelves/boxes for big stuff and then trying to find a way to organize all my smart parts and just attach that system to the cleats, but I definitely want to see more ideas. I’ve looked at Harbor Freight boxes and some custom 3d printed solutions, but post your organization systems here!
I’ve seen those but they seem like a weird space between too flimsy for big stuff and not enough compartmentalization for small stuff. What do you put in them?
I have found them to be sturdy enough. I have had 12 of them for about 5 years and through 2 house moves and they hold all my ‘DIY inventory’ and hand tools. I wouldn’t fill them up with lead shot or anything but they seem about as strong as a standard bin of the same size. The folding parts lock in when extended and I haven’t had any issues with them.
